R.I.P

was above legend status

 

[Sky Blue]

Just found out. Got tears in my eyes. R.I.P King Colin.

Thankful I saw you play. As a young lad on the Kippax I'll always remember when you waltzed round Stepney and slotted the ball into the net to make it 2-2 against the enemy (3-3 it finished). Such elegance.

Weeeeeeeeeeeee'llllllll drink a drink a drink ............

I am too young to have seen him play but I wish I had done.

If you talk to anyone who knows football they all say The King was one of the best players they've ever seen. Everyone regardless of who they support tells me this.

RIP The King.

For those who never saw him play, he was KdB on steroids, his passing was sublime,he was supremely skilled, he was brilliant in the air, he could tackle, he could finish, he could run all day and he was a humble man, who loved our club.

In our pantheon of greats some may come close, but none will ever surpass the King of the Kippax.

His comeback game still sends shivers down my spine, i have never heard a ground as loud in my life as the Kippax was that day.

RIP The King, you were my hero, I loved you more than any City player i have ever seen or likely to see, he was everything I wanted to be as a kid, i even worse my shirt like him, insisted i had the 8 shirt at school.

I am heartbroken, your hero's are not meant to die.

Cheers russ. Nice words for us (slightly) younger lads who never had the pleasure.
Hope youre well my friend

That’s a lovely post mate, well said

Thought I was holding it together I poured a large Bourbon for me my son and my wife to toast the King only to fall apart and start blubbering, I couldn't get the words out my son held me tight inconsolable on his shoulder, I got there in the end and raised a drink to Colin the King. I'm still a bit of a mess now. Fucking gutted.

RIP King Colin. Never had the fortune to see him play, but his level of adulation and respect earnt is evident in every post or article about him. RIP to a City legend

 

[TooBlue]

Not ashamed to say I filled up when I heard. RIP Colin, I feel blessed to have seen you play.

 

[homerdog]

Down the local park, when all my mates were Pele, Cruyff, or Best, I was Colin Bell.

And in my mind, I always will be...

RIP to the King.

I think Colin would want it to be Sky Blue mate

Aye there is that :)
